Chapter 307: The King's Duel
"It's you......" Admiral Simon, who was a prisoner, did not look like a prisoner at all, but was spotless, and did not seem to be embarrassed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Admiral Simon's prestige in the kingdom of Trebizond was too high, and as the backbone of the army, he alone shouldered the heavy responsibility of the defense of the entire western theater of operations. Because of this, no one in the army has a deep fear of this general. Therefore, even if he is imprisoned here, the guards stationed there are all respectful.
Admiral Simon was not at all worried that Andopulis would secretly do anything bad to him.
"Is that you......?!" There was a hint of surprise in his voice.
He didn't care about being in prison, but now, this man was more concerned about the man who suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Hello, Admiral Simon. It doesn't seem like a bad thing to be here for a few days! The other party hid his face and chuckled, and this demeanor made Simon feel very unhappy inside. But at this moment, the man took something out of his bosom and put it in front of Admiral Simon's eyes, it was a black cross badge. It is not the sign of the cross of the Orthodox Church, but the Holy Church
"I didn't expect it to be you! It's incredible. Admiral Simon opened his eyes, he did not expect that this man had already become a member of the Holy Church as early as himself, and it was unbelievable that he had such a position in Trebizond.
"I think the same way!" The man said with a relaxed face. "The Holy See is very satisfied with the efforts made by Your Excellency before."
However, Admiral Simon glanced at the other party, understood the meaning of the other party's words, and immediately said: "There are too many unexpected factors in the previous incident itself, and it is simply unrealistic to want to destroy all the troops of Trebizond in one go. When he said this, this highly respected general did not even move a brow, and if his subordinates heard it with their own ears, they would be extremely shocked that their commander, who had always been exalted in their hearts, had not long ago intended to bury the entire army of Trebizond in the Western Frontier!
No one can believe this, but it is.
"That's true, but even if they were to destroy them all, the knight king would not be able to take the city to the Venetians as long as he was here! Such a powerful power is really breathtaking! The man couldn't help but shake his head, slightly emotional.
"Yes! That's a pity. "Admiral Simon could hear the loud movement inside this prison, but the fierce fighting was something he didn't know. When the ship arrived at Trebizond that day, he noticed the young man, but he never expected it to be the former Knight King.
"And now? The crusaders must have returned in vain, so what have you decided? Admiral Simon asked, looking at the man in front of him with his own cold gaze. He knew the reputation of the Knight King, and now that there was no movement, he finally chose to retreat in fear of his coercion and crusaders. But in this case, wouldn't it mean that Trebizond would be abandoned? This does not seem to be in keeping with the style of the Holy See!
But the man shook his head and said: "Don't worry, this matter is expected, the legacy of New Rome here means that there are still many hidden hole cards, and it is unrealistic to easily conquer it." It's time for us to play. ”
"...... we?" Admiral Simon was slightly stunned.
And at this moment, there was a fierce burst of gunfire and the screams of the prison guards before they died, and then the sound of the key opening the door sounded, and the door of the prison was opened, and men dressed in black entered, and those clothes were so familiar.
"The people from the Inquisition have already infiltrated it, and it really deserves to be the Holy See!" Admiral Simon was not too surprised, in fact, the infiltration ability of the Holy Church has always been the sword of Damocles over the head of every nation, and it will often give the final blow at the most critical moment.
"Please, Admiral Simon. If you don't leave now, it's too late! The man smiled and held out his hand in the direction of the door.
"Well, it looks like you've prepared yourself." Looking at the other party, Admiral Simon had already roughly guessed a lot at this time, and now the special army to which the Holy Church belonged was probably almost ready, and Trebizond, who had just repelled the crusaders, also happened to be at the time of the most slack, "Finally, it is time to see that this decaying empire is completely extinguished." ”
"But the presence of Nicaea and Epirus is still a hidden danger." The man reminded.
"So what? As long as this place is completely buried, the so-called empire will no longer be able to resurrect its soul. Like Noel, Simon had seen the empire come to an end, and he had already seen that the country was out of place.
"Then we'll see!"
……
With the attack of the Crusaders, several frontiers around the Kingdom of Trebizond chose to defend the safety of the royal capital with all their might, so the fortress where it was originally stationed became almost empty. And this made the depth of an iron army unexpectedly unknown for a while, and at this moment they had arrived not far from Trabizon City. By this time, the Crusaders had already retreated.
"Hehe, those Venetians and the people of the New Brad Kingdom are really unreliable at all!" When the young man heard the news, his expression was full of disdain. Apparently the Crusaders were not taken into account in the slightest.
The mecha unit took a break to recuperate, and the knights all stepped out of the cockpit, which was actually different from the ordinary ones, except for the dark green combat uniforms. They all wore helmets to cover their faces. This kind of outfit is really rare, and it's clear that this is no ordinary mech legion. I saw that their combat uniforms had a very conspicuous cross decoration, and there was no second army in this army except for the Swiss Guards under the Holy See.
More mechs were opened in the cockpit doors, and after the knights left, these mechs were being tested by the mechanics one by one, after all, now the mechs as the main force on the battlefield must be paid attention to at all times and at all times. This army is the pride of the Holy See, and it is all the elite selected from the Kingdom of Switzerland, and they are the only ones who can complete the nerve grafting operation performed by the Holy Church and fly the most elite mechs of the Holy See today. Mechanics are also specially recruited by the Holy See, and their rigor is unmatched by any other country.
This time, they didn't have any auxiliary troops except for the personnel in charge of supply and maintenance, and there were not even knight scores, but all mecha legions. Clearly, the Holy See wants to end everything here with a blitzkrieg.
The big war is imminent, and the atmosphere can't help but feel particularly tense at this moment.
"It's time to put an end to it here." The young man whispered. Judging from the map, they are about to reach their destination, and even if the other party still has any hole cards, everything will be destroyed under the full attack of the Holy See.
"Flag officer, we ...... now" The subordinates beside him looked at the young man respectfully, and did not slack off because of the other party's age.
"Don't be in a hurry, at this time Trebizond is like a bowstring that has just been released, and the remaining momentum has not yet been collected, and it cannot be underestimated. Let's wait and see what happens! I think that when the time comes, when they are completely slack, it will be time for us to do it. The young man gave the order.
Being called the flag bearer already shows the status of this young man. It is important to know that most of the Italian city-states have municipal councils of nine, such as Florence, Genoa, and Venice, and the so-called "flag bearers" among them have the duty of receiving troops in addition to maintaining law and order, and the Holy See also adopts this system. The flag-bearer of the Holy See, also known as the "Church Flag-bearer", has a great responsibility, and it is indeed a little surprising that such a young man would lead it.
But anyone who knew the young man's name would have no doubt about his abilities.
Dandolo, who can be said to be the existence of the knight king of the Holy Church, although he was only twenty-four years old, he had already made great achievements at the age of sixteen, quelling the heretical rebellion in the northern mountains at that time, and later participated in the Holy See-led intervention in the Holy Roman Emperor's struggle for the throne, defeating the Magyar army in one fell swoop, forcing the Magyars to give up the position of elector. Because of this, he was able to get the important responsibility of being the flag bearer, directly commanding the powerful mecha legion of the Holy See's elite Swiss Guard.
This time, even he personally went out, which shows that the Holy See attaches great importance to Trebizond, otherwise he would not have directly sent an existence of this level this time.
"Your Excellency, the Crusaders are now retreating, and those Nicaeans, what should we do?" The subordinate looked at Dandolo and asked, after all, this matter was specially mentioned by the Holy See before, but the final decision is still in the hands of this young man.
"They? If it weren't for the fact that His Holiness had specifically mentioned it, I wouldn't have had any thoughts about them. In that case, leave it to those people to deal with it! I'm too lazy to bother anymore. "Dandolo's only concern at this time is only Trebizond, and it is of course someone else's task to completely wipe out those two armies.
The original intention was only to let this crusader force test what Trebizond's hole cards were, and the secrecy of this operation was such that it was impossible for insignificant people to know a little secret, so the message sent to Alfonso did not mention the reason but gave the order directly.
"Hmph, I just let the Venetians be cannon fodder, it seems that the Tudor Grand Duke is very shrewd. If he were leading the team, I would be interested in pursuing it myself. There was no lack of regret in the words, and Dandoro sighed slightly in his heart. He, like Ethher, is known as an existence with the potential to become a king, although he is unwilling, but the knight king who shocked the east and west more than ten years ago is indeed an immortal existence. Even if people rarely mention it, the shadow left behind has not faded in the slightest. Now that the Knight King has become history, it is naturally the wish of the flag bearer to be able to fight with Esser, but this time he will not be able to fulfill his wish.
"Report, Your Excellency the Flag Bearer. Telegraph! At this time, the communications soldier who came in a hurry sent an urgent telegram, which seemed to be very important, and seemed to be out of breath.
"Telegram?!" Telegraph communication between the continents was very difficult because of the war, and how could Trebizond, which was now thousands of miles away from Rome, receive a telegram from the Holy Church? Dandoro couldn't help but ask, confused.
"It's the people of the Inquisition in Trebizond. There is something important to report! The signal soldier hurriedly explained.
And Dandoro's face showed a look of disdain, the Inquisition is a violent organization controlled by the Holy Church, but it is not at all transferred by the military department, as the flag officer, he naturally does not take it seriously, and he will not have anything to do, but it is a little unwise to hold prejudices at this time, after all, they will need their cooperation to attack Trebizond. It was not a wise decision to force an attack at any time, and although he had the advantage, he decided to wait for the best moment.
"Say it!" Dandoro asked the messenger to continue.
"It's a top-secret document, and it says please decipher it yourself." Although there was a look of hesitation on his face, the signal soldier still truthfully reported that this is a way of secrecy, which means that it is impossible for anyone to know except for the commander, which greatly improves the secrecy, and also means that the intelligence is highly confidential and has a great stake.
"So important?" Dandoro looked a little displeased, but he still restrained his expression and took the information and codebook to decipher it himself.
But as the message was deciphered, the flag officer's expression also changed, and his eyes couldn't help but burst out with fierce sparks, as if he saw a mountain of gold in front of him.
"It's him! No wonder the Crusaders fled in such a mess! Suddenly, the man burst out laughing, the regret of not being able to fight with Ether was completely gone, and now his heart was on fire, even fanatical.
The Knight King, he never expected the Knight King to be in this inconspicuous little city in Anatolia. It turns out that the Knight King has not become history, and his regrets can finally be over.
has always been regarded as one of the most powerful knights after the Knight King, Dandoro is of course very unwilling, and hopes to fight with Esher just to want the other party to become his stepping stone and ascend to the second throne of the Knight King. And now there is no need for that at all, since the Knight King is here, this fateful battle is what Dandoro himself wants to see the most.
